President Clinton and his wife Hillary Rodham Clinton share a laugh at the Youth Ball at the Post Office Pavilion on January 20, 1993. New York fashion designer Oscar de la Renta created a long embroidered tulle gown with matching cape that Mrs. Clinton will wear to the 1997 inaugural balls, the White House said. In going to de la Renta, Mrs. Clinton selected a more established fashion couturier to outfit her than the designer she hired four years ago. Sarah Phillips, who designed the violet-and-lace creation Mrs. Clinton wore to the 1993 inauguration, had less than two years experience as a designer.
